关于客户
The City of Calgary, located in Alberta, Canada, is a city government that operates a fleet of 600 vehicles. The City's fleet services department is responsible for monitoring fuel usage on a daily basis. This is a serious task as the employees could be held financially and criminally accountable for negligence in the event of a fuel leak. The City operates 16 fueling sites, some of which are large and some as small as one pump. The City is trying to get out of the fuel business, but there are a few diesel fuel islands so remote and essential it would be difficult to totally eliminate the City’s fuel operations.
挑战
The City of Calgary's fleet services department faces the challenge of monitoring fuel usage on a daily basis due to the potential financial and criminal accountability in the event of a fuel leak. The harsh climate of Calgary, with temperatures ranging from -30°C to +30°C, adds to the complexity of maintaining a watchful eye over fuel tanks. The City operates 16 fueling sites, some of which are so remote and essential that it would be difficult to totally eliminate the City’s fuel operations. Every City employee authorized to dispense fuel to a vehicle is given either a plastic card to swipe through a card reader at the fuel island control unit (ICU) or an employee number which they key in at the ICU keypad.
解决方案
The City of Calgary deployed a comprehensive implementation of FuelFocus™ from AssetWorks. This system monitors for fuel leaks electronically and provides a flexible and convenient method for City employees to fuel their vehicles. The FuelFocus™ system is fully integrated with the City’s FleetFocus™ fleet system, which eliminates the need for double entry of data and ensures all fueling transactions get automatically recorded to the proper unit. All aboveground fuel tanks and most underground fuel lines going from the tanks to the fuel islands are double walled. Between the walls, electronic sensors have been installed to monitor for leak detection. In addition, temperature compensated sensors have been installed inside all fuel tanks so the volume of fuel in the tank can be accurately balanced to the amount of fuel dispensed on a daily basis.

Case Study
Turning A Stadium Into A Smart Building
Honeywell created what it called the “intelligent system” for the National Stadium in Beijing, China, turning the venue for the opening and closing events at the 2008 Summer Olympics into a “smart building.” Designed by highly controversial artist Ai Weiwei, the “Bird’s Nest” remains one of the most impressive feats of stadium architecture in the world. The 250,000 square meter structure housed more than 100,000 athletes and spectators at a time. To accommodate such capacity, China turned to Honeywell’s EBI Integrated Building Management System to create an integrated “intelligent system” for improved building security, safety and energy efficiency.

Case Study
Smart Street Light Network (Copenhagen)
Key stakeholders are taking a comprehensive approach to rethinking smart city innovation. City leaders have collaborated through partnerships involving government, research institutions and solution providers. The Copenhagen Solutions Lab is one of the leading organizations at the forefront of this movement. By bringing together manufacturers with municipal buyers, the Copenhagen Solutions Lab has catalyzed the development and deployment of next-generation smart city innovations. Copenhagen is leveraging this unique approach to accelerate the implementation of smart city solutions. One of the primary focus areas is LED street lighting.

Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.

China Mobile Smart Parking
Smart Parking, powered by NB-IoT technology, is making it easier for drivers to find free parking spots. Cities can better manage their parking assets and maximize the revenue available to them as a result. Drivers searching for parking create congestion and pollution by circling and hunting for available parking. Smart Parking services are able to significantly ease these problems by guiding a driver directly to a parking space.

Barcelona Case Study
Barcelona’s heavy traffic and its associated high levels of pollution were the primary factors that motivated some companies and universities to work on strategies for improving traffic in the city centre. Bitcarrier is one of the technologies involved in the In4Mo Project, whose main objective is to develop the applications that form the core of smart mobility, one of the fundamental pillars of the smart city concept.
